As part of the Keep Well campaign, Sport Ireland has produced the below series of exercise videos.

Keep Well Programme for children with autism and their parents/guardians/carers:

Led by Fiona and Paul Oppermann this 6-part series is designed to focus in on movement patterns that are beneficial for development, combined with low and higher intensity exercises that use a similar pattern to aid learning.

The key focus is the development of gross motor skills to improve co-ordinated movement, core strength and balance.

The sessions can be done as week by week progressions or standalone sessions. You can do the exercises in your own space and at your own pace, by pausing and restarting the videos at a pace that works for you.

No one wants to extend their workout longer than they have to, but experts say skipping a post-walk stretch session is a bad idea. "Absolutely, definitely, positively stretch after your walks," says walking coach Michele Stanten, an ACE-certified fitness instructor and the author of Walk Off Weight .

Although it's debatable whether stretching keeps soreness at bay or prevents injuries, says Stanten, it does still serve an important purpose. "Your muscles are warmer at the end of a walk so it's easier to increase your range of motion and flexibility," says Stanten. "And if you want to keep walking as you get older, you need to maintain your flexibility and range of motion. That's really the reason you want to make sure you're doing it."

Plus, it just good. And who doesn't like to end a workout on a high note? So take a look at the post-walk stretching routine below and then give it a go after your next step session. If the weather is good, you can do it outside. Otherwise head indoors, power up the blender for a recovery smoothie and sip while you stretch.

Stretching Routine for Walkers

Do each exercise below at least once, stretching each leg for at least 30 seconds. "Holding a stretch for 30 seconds has the most benefit," says Stanten, "but if you can get up to a minute for each leg, even better."
Standing Quadriceps Stretch
Targets: Quadriceps, hip flexors
Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart. Using your left hand, reach back and grab your left foot or left ankle and pull it towards your butt. Tuck your tailbone under and make sure your knee is pointing straight down toward the floor. Hold for at least 30 seconds; switch legs and repeat.
Straight-Leg Calf Stretch
Targets: Calves, hip flexors
If you're having trouble balancing, stand next to a wall, chair, tree or any other sturdy, stationary object and use your opposite hand to balance. "I really encourage people, even if they have good balance, to use a wall," says Stanten. "You'll get a better stretch if you're not worried about falling."
Standing Figure Four Hip Stretch
Targets: Hips, glutes, lower back
Standing tall, extend your right leg straight back, placing your heel flat on the ground. Without bending your back knee, gently push your body forward from your pelvis. Your front knee should be directly over your ankle. Hold for at least 30 seconds; switch legs and repeat.
Posterior Shoulder Stretch
Targets: Shoulders, upper back Resistance Band Hamstring Stretch
Targets: Hamstrings This information is for educational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. You should not use this information to diagnose or treat a health problem or condition. Always check with your doctor before changing your diet, altering your sleep habits, taking supplements, or starting a new fitness routine.
"This one you can also do with your hands against a wall," says Stanten. "Think about shifting your hips toward the wall."

Stand up with your feet together and squat down as if you're about to sit in a chair. Lift your left leg and cross that ankle over your right thigh. Sit into the stretch-your right leg should be bent-and gently push your bent knee down. Hold for at least 30 seconds; switch legs and repeat.

"If you have trouble doing this stretch, you can hold onto a post or railing and sit back. Or do the stretch sitting on a chair or bench," says Stanten.

Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and roll your shoulders down and back. Bring your left arm across your body, and use your right arm to gently push your left arm towards your right shoulder. Hold for at least 30 seconds; switch arms and repeat.

Sit on the ground or on an exercise mat with your legs straight out in front of you. Loop a resistance band (or a jump rope or towel) around the arch of your right foot and, grasping the ends of the band in both hands, lie back. Bend your left leg, keeping your foot flat on the ground, and extend your right leg up until it's perpendicular with the ground or you feel a comfortable stretch. Keep your right leg as straight as possible without locking your knee and your hips and lower back against the ground. Hold for at least 30 seconds; switch legs and repeat.

My 2020 Fitness Planner is more than just a printable planner. It is a way to truly work on a life change for a new year. Whether you are using a new year resolution for fitness and health, or want a new printable to keep going on your journey, these printables below are great.

Make your fitness goals a reality and kickstart off the new year with this 2020 fitness printable. A great way to make healthy choices for the new year.

2020 Fitness Planner

Whatever your fitness goals are, this planner is great. Maybe drinking more water, making healthier choices, working out more, etc. I have you covered to make 2020 a year of growth and change for your body.

Workout Motivations Printable

Here is where I think it is great to start out. Add a before picture or jot down measurements of your body, so you can refer later on to what it is at the end of the year.

Then write down inspirational quotes, songs that will get you hyped up, and more. It is a great way to start getting you prepared for the new journey.

Weekly Meal Plan Printable

Now, if one area you are working on is eating healthier this printable is a must. You can sit down and plan out your meals, keep track of protein, carbs, fats, etc. No matter if you are on a diet or trying to eat at home more with home-cooked meals. You might love this printable.

You could also place in a wipeable sleeve so you can use dry-erase markers on it each week. Or place in a picture frame and use dry erase markers to write and wipe off. That way you are not having to print a new sheet each week.

Monthly Workout Printable

Taking the time to plan out what you will do each day will really help to keep you interested in your exercising. Maybe one day do yoga followed by a Zumba dance class the next day. YOu will find that if you keep things rotating you won't get bored and it will keep your muscles constantly working since you change it up often.

Plus you can look at the calendar to see what is on the agenda for the week.

Weekly Workout Printable

This is a more in-depth printable. Write down what you plan to do for your warmup, workout and then cool down. This is a fantastic way to ensure you gain the most out of each workout by taking care of your body as well. Then you can refer to what you did previously to ensure your body is getting all areas worked over.

Weekly Health Log

This is another great health printable to have. Stay aware of how much water you are drinking, the amount of sleep you are getting, weight and more. Being healthy is a roundup of things. From exercise, the food we eat, and more.

Make sure to utilize this printable. It is a great way to remember to get in so many ounces of water each day. Many of us struggle with that, and when you track it, you can see where you lack.

Or this printable might help keep you totally zoned in and focused on the task at hand. Many love to have things laid out and this fitness and health printable set does just that.

A Year Of Health

Now, this health printable set is for 2020, but if you want to get started earlier go right ahead. These printables will work for every single month of the year.

I have seen so many people taking the 100-day workout challenge lately. Where you workout for 100 days straight. This is a fun challenge that has truly motivated so many. Once you reach that 100-day mark, many keep going as it becomes routine and a lifestyle change.

Looking for some low carb meals to make

You might also like this 2020 Yearly Calendar, 2020 Household Planner, 2020 Financial Planner and 2020 Meal Planner.
